Instagram/The Bowery Visit

To promote the business and to start gaining the attention of our audience and interacting with other creatives, an Instagram account has been set up to document the starting of the business. This is something that has been suggested by Donut Press. Steph informed me that having a strong social media profile is important for showcasing work and demonstrating to other proffessionals who you are! It is also a great way to show off the traditional print processes that are being used in the production of the products. 

The most recent post is of a visit we had to The Bowery. This is a cafe/creative space that we were recommended to visit by Donut Press. This is a business that we hope to get involved with more and hopefully sell our products here in the future. It was also a good research point as we were able to see other traditionally printed stationery/gift products. This showed us the price that the independent artists were selling their work for as well as the way that they were packaged and presented. It also demonstrated that although there are other traditional print artists doing a similar thing to us, the designs that we have done would still stand out against the others in the market.
